The number of patients younger than 18 years was too small to analyze separately, but overall, patients in the detox group had higher proportions of opioid-poisitive urine test results at weeks 4 and 8 but not at week 12. 10 Nov 2008 11:44:00 EST http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/300/17/2003 http://buprenorphine.samhsa.gov/bwns/presentations.html The Summit convened February 21-22, 2008, in Washington, D.C. to bring together experts in epidemiology, pharmacology, toxicology, and addiction treatment in order to build upon the findings of the previous summits in 2003 and 2005. Participants assessed the successes, progress and continued barriers to access to opioid treatment with buprenorphine. Presentations identified best practices and useful clinical supports to enhance the quality of treatment. Participants identified strategies to address emerging issues and concerns. SAMHSA and NIDA will prepare a report on the proceedings. 29 Feb 2008 09:22:00 EST http://buprenorphine.samhsa.gov/bwns/presentations.html http://buprenorphine.samhsa.gov/pls/bwns/updtcntct2$.startup Physicians, you can now update your own contact information.
